Small laterite bridge, still in use, with 8 arches and recorded as measuring 35 meters long and 7 meters wide. Like most of the ancient bridges on this section of the ancient road, it featured a naga balustrade and here one of the naga end pieces is still in situ with what appears to be a naga of nine heads above what I would then assume that to be a femine figure in the lotus position.
The bridge is quite clear and easy to access on one side and even to glance down the arches, for a suprise as there is a long piece of balustarde hidden in one arch. How did it get there? Lowered in while the bridge was apart during repairs.
